This is great news! MOBI and especially KF8 (Amazon flavour of XHTML on MOBI) are horribly complex by virtue of them being additional layers over the PalmDB format, which on it's o…

From what I've seen the likelihood of triggering a pathological case with real-world non-malicious data is actually low enough to be ignored, given that the rolling hash function i…

Some CDC implementations I have seen use a desired "average" chunk size value in addition to a minimum and maximum value. If the chunk exceeds the desired average size, the test fo…

I don't know about BuildKit and `docker buildx`, but I've been using an approach similar to what is outlined in paragraph two to generate static executables for one of my projects.…

I remember introducing a middle schooler to programming using Scratch at my highschool's open day. I had spent a few hours making a simple two player shooting game and a maze gener…

Thank you for your response! However, the linked content further seems to support my suspicion that having websites without any client-side JS is not in the scope of RSCs. The link…

I'm personally curious how the Next is able to achieve the claim of "zero client-side JavaScript" mentioned here[1] using react server components? It just doesn't seem to make sens…

This is a really cool project. It's unfortunate to see the author being this obviously frustrated by having Sixel-related contributions be rejected time and time again. However it …

Somehow I don't seem to have the same experience as most people in this thread. Sure, homegrown tomatoes and cucumbers taste quite a bit better than what I usually buy at the super…

I currently trust Restic with basically all of my long-term backups, which, according to the author, really isn't a thing I should do. However, I'm still somewhat confident in my s…

The interface uses ring buffers for communication between the kernel and u serspace. That's how I have always understood it at least, not sure if it's actually correct.

Just as another data point, I am from Europe and my application was accepted very quickly. Im currently using Hetzner for most of my personal cloud stuff and have been very happy w…

> Would you use backtick? Dunno. I hear it’s hard to access on some keyboard layouts like German. It's fine, you have to press the key right next to the backspace key plus shift. N…

I get that this is the von Neumann architecture. What I don't get is how not understanding it connects to not wanting WASM or JITs in your web browser. Note also that the author ex…

Fair enough, it seems like we mostly agree on how technology generally affects the world. I can't say I currently possess the domain knowledge to confirm your views on GPT, so I'll…

Apparently I also don't? I fail to see the connection you are making.

I see your point, but aren't you making me into a bit of a straw man? When did I say that I was some open-access Luddite who won't use any technology that they can't build themselv…

> If the technical preview is successful, our plan is to build a commercial version of GitHub Copilot in the future. This may be the first time that a proprietary coding tool offer…

Note that there exists a spiritual successor to Moment.js in Luxon[1]. The creator was a Moment maintainer and it lives under the Moment project umbrella. 1: https://moment.github.…

I've used systemd containers to run badly behaved GUI apps, e.g. Steam and MS Teams on my personal computers. Surprisingly good experience, the systemd manual pages are extremely c…

It's basically just a nice way of composing the different parts of your system. E.g. you could write a NixOS module to manage your web app. You declaratively configure that you wan…

Certainly, I have written you an email to the address used in your GitHub commits. If you no longer use that address, mine should be visible on my HN about.

It seems to me that there are two different kinds of "rational" at play here. It might certainly be rational to accept a religious viewpoint and way of life to make use of the posi…

I would guess that network effects and the amount of quality tools built on top of Git are the main reason for its prevalence. Fossil and Darcs sure look nice, but having to self-h…

This worked relatively well for my account. A major reason for my first match seems to have been both accounts talking about licensing issues and specifically GPL. Other matches se…
